The Guardian | Pentagon plans to make US military ‘AI-first fighting force’ by pairing with companies by Guardian staff and agency

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The Pentagon announced on 1 May 2026 that it has signed agreements with seven leading artificial‑intelligence firms—SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, Nvidia, Reflection, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services—to help transform the U.S. military into an “AI‑first fighting force” and enhance warfighter decision‑making across all domains.
